The normal travel pace rules kick in when he walks to the door. When P3 walks(travels) to the sarcophagus and inspects it, he is distracted by his actions and gets no passive perception to notice stealthy threats/traps(other than on the sarcophagus).  P2 doesn't move, but is distracted and doesn't get his passive perception if anything happens while he is doing that.They aren't different in declaration, but are different in results.  Someone focused on listening at the door isn't going to be able to use passive perception to notice the threat sneaking down the stairs to the tomb behind the party.  Someone drawing a map is going to be focused on map stuff and is not going to get passive perception for that group, either.  I would give P2 a perception roll with disadvantage, though, since he's explicitly near the exit and might get lucky.</blockquote>
